Everything is beautiful and sexy. I swear he described the saran wrap on the toilet as beautiful too. Boy needs a thesaurus.

You have a toothpick cock? I feel so sorry for you.

MILD SPOILER

Believable, but still kind of grating. It's true to the character—that she's in a transition stage between HS-era dork Willow with bad sweaters and collegiate lesbian witch Willow—but it felt about two minutes too long.

Your girlfriend wasn't paying attention. Charisma Carpenter had a huge rack even back during the Buffy days. If she had a boob job, it was a minor one, or before she was on BtVS. I think probably the latter. I mean, since when does an ectomorph naturally have double DDs and skinny, boy hips?

POSSIBLE MILD SPOILERS

Oh my god. If there's one thing that Whedon series are consistent about, it's being inconsistent with their own mythology/canon. Angel in particular tends to be all over the map regarding vampire mythology.

Would you guys prefer Rabin take his time collecting his thoughts about your favorite artists? Or shit something out in a few hours just to meet some arbitrary deadline?

Are you kidding? Joel Stein writes for Time magazine. Also, who cares? Your complaint is akin to wondering why people ruin casual Friday by dressing unprofessionally.

@FidelAstro: Not necessarily. I don't know what the logo looks like, but it may not have been necessarily racist or stereotypical. It's also possible your teammates have internalized racism to the degree that they see nothing wrong with even a problematic logo (though I feel like that's less likely given how many…

I do accept that. It's reality. But that doesn't mean I'm OK with it or think it's an excuse to be complacent. Plus, the song kind of flattens out the reality that, while everyone is a little bit racist, some people still benefit more from racism than others. It's a clever song, but the takeaway for some white people…

Fuck me for being hopelessly naive, but I think it's entirely possible to be serious without being preachy and to be entertaining without being superficial.

That's what my epically long fucking comment was about, you damned mouth-breather.

Yeah, Magical Negro is so magical he turns unapologetic bigots into laundry-sniffing kittens.

Going to have to disagree
Americans talk about race and racism constantly, but generally in a starkly black-and-white way. You learn that racism is bad and because most don't want to think of themselves as bad people, they tend to recognize or conceive of racism only in its most extreme form.

@zxcvb: I'm going to fling my own stone: you are wrong and I hope you haven't handed that shit advice out to anyone suffering from depression.

Eh, the MJ episode wasn't really centered on Lisa as much as Homer and Bart, even though it was nominally about her birthday.

Keep reading. The series really works well both in terms of (seemingly) standalone stories and maintaining an overall narrative arc. The penultimate volume is incredible and the final book actually made me cry. I guarantee you'll feel an urgent need to reread from the beginning once you're done.

@Truth8843: I think I agree with your assessment. I think I admire the episode more than I enjoy watching it. However, *MILD SPOILER* the final fight scene towards the end of the episode struck me as jarringly off-key compared to everything that had preceded it. I remember watching it and wondering why they felt the…

Am I the only one who wasn't blown away by"The Body"? It's a strong episode, but I would not class it among my favorites.
